#8827: libboost_regex missing link to libicuuc in openSUSE
------------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  teddybouch@…      |      Owner:  johnmaddock
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  regex
  Version:  Boost 1.53.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  opensuse ROS      |
------------------------------+-------------------------
 I am running openSUSE 12.3, which installs with Boost v1.49 and just used
 YaST to update Boost to v1.53 along with a number of associated libraries.
 But when I go to install ROS, which uses libboost_regex, I get a series of
 errors that all look like the following:

 /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.7/../../../../lib64/libboost_regex-
 mt.so: undefined reference to `u_tolower_51'

 After talking with someone on the Boost IRC channel who was very helpful,
 I was able to use readelf to look at the Version needs section of
 libboost_regex.so.1.53.0 and determine that libicuuc.so is not linked,
 which provides those missing references. I wish that I could offer a fix,
 but I'm way out of my depth here. If someone could please fix this linking
 issue and let me know how to do so on my system, I would greatly
 appreciate it. Thanks very much.
